My to make list keeps getting longer and longer. I am not going to have to worry about what's going on the menu for the entire summer!!
Trim and slice your pork tenderloin and stick it in a sealable bag with the marinade. Put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day when you get home from work, dinner will be on the table in the amount of time it takes you to boil a pot of water and heat up the grill.
Once the noodles are cooked which takes only 2 minutes, you can compose your salad before putting the pork on the grill which only takes another 5 minutes or so. I had some leftover Savoy cabbage in the refrigerator so I used that for my greens. You can use lettuce as well. I bought the carrots already shredded to save even more time.
Add the pork slices to the bowls and serve with your choice of dressing. I passed a Sesame Asian Dressing but the Teen used Caesar dressing and loved it!!
